Business Feature: DnV Jamaican Seasonings - Delphine Drake

I am trying to take part of an idea I got from Jeremy Miller’s blog format where he puts a business in the spotlight.Jeremy Miller of Sticky Branding tends to target larger companies than I do, but I think it’s a great idea.

This Week’s Featured Business: Delphine Drake of DnV Jamaican Seasonings

If you like to get an authentic taste of Jamaica, you might be interested in how she got started and some business and marketing tips from her perspective.

If you would rather read than watch a video, below I provide some of her background and summarize the notes I took from that interview at her booth at Detroit’s Eastern Market.(She even has that cool Jamaican accent!)

An Introduction to Delphine of DnV Jamaican Seasonings

I met Delphine several years ago, and she’s always been a motivated entrepreneur.She is always willing to test new things to find what her market really wants.Delphine had owned and run several businesses and organizations, but her strongest business is DnV Jamaican Seasonings.

Delphine began her company DnV Jamaican Seasonings (http://DnVJamaicanSeasonings.com) in 2010.Something that has always caught my attention about her is that she is not even from the United States, yet she has found a way to create a business for herself here.So she has some unique insight about business.She is a hustler in every good sense of that term.

You can buy her products in different grocery stores around Detroit and the Metro Area, visit her at different farmer’s markets (including Eastern Market – Shed #3), or you can order from her online.

--Talk to the buyers, maybe even find the manager running the department that is most likely to sell your product.(i.e. If you have baked goods, visit the manager of the bakery section.)

In Delphine’s specific case, by offering Jamaican seasonings she offers something that is unique and healthy, which are two major hot buttons within many grocery stores, especially specialty type of stores.

What is the one thing people should try from DnV Jamaican Seasonings?

The jerk seasoning.Everyone loves Jamaican jerk seasoning, and it’s good on everything…whatever you can cook, you can use jerk seasoning on it (i.e. spaghetti, pork, eggs, chicken, fish, vegatables).”
